Rules
1. Each team must consist of 4 persons.
2. Your team compete in either Case study or Team design.

Team design
In this category the competitors will use their practical skills to design. Competitors need to build a functional device regarding to a technical problem given in a limited amount of time and resources. Be it a little robot, a catapult or a bridge out of popsicle sticks, the challenging task will be set by the partnering company, the university or the organizers.

Case study
In this category the competitors need to prove their skills of analytic and economic thinking. Unlike Team Design, Case Study is more conceptual consisting of a theoretical, technical or a managerial problem occurring in real life or industry. Participants develop hypothetical solutions with no actual construction of any device or assembling of some materials, but using the given information. Be it a marketing strategy for a new product or new uses for an old one, the challenging task will be set by the partnering company, the university or the organizers.
